Concept 84 #3

The scariest movie I ever saw was a movie called Halloween. I really didn't like the fact that the murderer came from unexpected places and took the lives of the actors in places where they are alone. I personally used to fear being alone in the dark, but I now have a revelation that I am not alone and even when I walk through the valley or the shadow of death I will not fear for my personal savior Jesus Christ is with me.

Concept 83 #3

If my character was given a chance to go back in time it would definitely be harder for her to live with out modern conveniences because she is a material girl who likes shopping and indulging in fancy living. She doesn't even like the traditional culture that she has now if she was to go back in time she would definitely have an impossible time adjusting to life.

Concept 82 #3

1. How did you become an Actor ?
2. Where is your inspiration ?
3. Who is your role model ?
4. Why do play in westerns ?
5. What makes you such an amazing Western Actor ?
6. What do you do to prepare ?
7. How do you advertise your self ?
8. Explain how you balance family life.
9. What movie do you want to do next?
10. Do you ever want to do another genera ?

I will use his answers to make a great western by getting the perspective of the actor and viewing things from his point of view to explore all aspects of the screen making process. Also to find what characters make the best Western Actor.





Concept 82 #1

1. E.T.
2. Star Wars
3. The Terminator

Italian Neorealism and Independent Cinema

I think that in Brick the characters are more complex and ambiguous. Do the right thing relied heavily on dialogue between the characters than Hollywood film. Brick talks of drugs and violence and similarly Do the Right Thing covers violence and hatred and these issues are not usually covered in mainstream media.

Italian Neorealism- Screenwriters's their greatest single influence was the anti-fascism that marked WWII'S immediate postwar period
-Some key elements are an emphasis on real lives, and entirely or largely non-professional cast. and a focus on collectivity rather than the individual.
-Neorealism pushed filmakers out of the studio and on to the streets, the camera emphasis was away from fantasy and toward reality.

-Italian realism inspired american independent cinema by pushed ideas of emphasis on reality and addressing issues that normally aren't covered my mainstream media.

Concept 77 #2

If I was writing a story in an earlier time period in order o keep the overall budget low and attractive to a producer with limited funds is by making the actors provide their own coutumes of their parents's old cloth or a vintage cloth they have. I would also set the movie in an older neighborhood so that the set design would be that neighborhood. I would do everything in my ability to use the resources I already have instead of spending money.

Concept 76 #3

The Princess Bride is in the adventure, comedy and family genere. Adventure films use their action scenes preferably to display and explore exotic locations in an energetic way. Comedy films are stories in which characters focus on humor. Family movies are warm and very sensored and convey an overall message of good.

Concept 75 #3

My favorite teen oriented movie is The Secret Life of an American Teenager. This programs implies that the mindset towards teens is that they all have some kind of secret in which the outside world is blinded to. Whether it be a pregnancy or a secret affair teens have a secret world of their own in which they face harsh dilemas and problems every day. The world doesn't really realize the effect of these problems on the teens life and this movie does a good job of trying to reveil some secrets and how they affect teens. The underlying message of this teen genere is that teens face various problems which are not really talked about in society which is clearly seen in this movie by showing kids deal with pregnancy, divorce, marriage and alcoholism.

Do the right thing

Well this movie was set in a predominately African American community involving other races and interacting within each other. This movie clearly shows the effect of a violent and aggressive community that constantly feeds on hate. The unique lighting and setting in hot environment adds to the vial behavior of the community highlighting the unneeded yet constant hate. I think the main case of the violence seen in this film was the hate based community that looks to prosper themselves instead of working together.

Concept 74 #1

I enjoy films that make me laugh ans think because those are the thing I constantly want o be doing thinking and laughing. I love expanding my intellect and I love having a good time and enjoying my self with a nice comedy.

Concept 73 #1

My favorite film hero is Spider Man, and my favorite villain is the Godfather. The plot of them together would be about a spiderman that is constantly having to save people from the Godfather who kill relentlessly because he is always looking for more money. The victor would definitely be the hero Spiderman because of his unmatchable skills with the spider webs.

Concept 71 #1

My favorite story figure is Jane Adams because of her social efforts that influenced future social programs for the homeless. If I was going to write a movie about Jane to immiediatly hook the audience I would start the movie within a busy homeless drive where Jane is shown as being really busy but handling everything at the same time.

Concept 70 #3

The point of view that will prevail in my film is from the point of view of the Indian Girl who is forced into an arranged relationship destined for marriage. This character will best direct the story because she know best the feeling and emotions of being involved in arranged marriage taking us deeper into the story through a first hand view in a life of a bride. If told form a different perspective this story would carry as much sympathy with the readers because it would be subjective rather than in depth. Told from the opposition this story would be very documentary like., and told from a minor character it would have as much power in the story.

Concept 69 #3

I would use resources such as websites that accurately portrait the different slags in order to insure that the expressions are in current use. I would also maybe visit a neighbor hood or a go to a place where they recently use that slang.
